Trader Joe’s Naturally Flavored Blueberry Waffles Review

Waffles might seem like a modern dish — especially if you associate them with TV shows like Stranger Things — but they’ve actually been around since the 9th century! In Medieval Europe, people made waffles by cooking ingredients between hot metal plates. That sounds like a lot of work! Thankfully, if you want to make waffles today, the only thing you need is a package of Trader Joe’s Naturally Flavored Blueberry Waffles.

Most of our readers will be preparing these waffles in the toaster, but we chose to cook them in the oven. We’re just crazy like that! If you follow our lead, you’ll want to cover your baking pan with aluminum foil to prevent the waffles from sticking to the pan.

These waffles don’t have the strong whole grain flavor that Kashi Blueberry Waffles have, but for some diners, that might make them more appealing. They’re just a nice, basic fruity-flavored waffle. The waffles are naturally sweet, which means you won’t have to drench them in syrup. In fact, you could easily eat them plain.

These waffles certainly aren’t short on flavor, but they are lacking something else: blueberries. Maybe we got a bad batch, but our waffles barely had any blueberries in the mix at all. Just look at the picture above if you don’t believe us! The waffles still taste fine, but we love blueberries, and we would have appreciated more of them.

If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and medieval-metal-plate-free way to make waffles, Trader Joe’s Naturally Flavored Blueberry Waffles should work well for you. If you’re specifically craving blueberry waffles, however, you’ll find better options in the freezer aisle. These waffles are delicious, but they’re definitely not a great source of antioxidants.
